SS/AH is that way now. Fast cars have $100K engines that are modified way beyond what the traditional Super Stock engines are allowed. Go ahead, mill your heads on your Ford until the valvecover bolt holes are gone, see if you get through tech.

Those cars are cool, I like watching them. But they're so far beyond what the rest of the regular Super Stock cars are it is hard to believe. If you want to win the Hemi Shootout at Indy, be prepared to get off of your wallet to the tune of a quarter million bucks.

Sadly, the factory Stock and Super Stock shootout classes are rapidly heading that way.

you are dead on sir!!! That class help the escalating price of SS
